Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

Seems odd. I subscribe to Young Jump, Nono no No usually ranks around the lower half but it's not last or anything. It usually ranks around the same range as Kokou no Hito. But then again, the TOCs in YJ are much less effectual than in the really competitive magazines like Jump where being near the bottom means you'll get canceled if you stay there for 10 weeks.

I think what's usually at the top is Gantz (which is always first if it's in the magazine), Kingdom, B Kata H Kei, Shin Salaryman Kintarou, Usogui, Deliver Cinderella, and REAL (When it's in the magazine).

I think Zetman is usually around the middle. Though that one has infrequent serialization, too. So does Rozen Maiden. Captain Tsubasa is in that area, too.
But I don't read most series besides Kokou no Hito and Gantz, and ordering subscriptions online end up not showing up until a week after the street release date, sometimes a few days later.

Hm, so actually quite a few are very recent. I hadn't realized that. I guess it's because Young Jump usually reserves their covers for models rather than stuff about series. With a few exceptions like when a series that was on hiatus comes back.

Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

Nakayama Atsushi is looking for assistants for his next serialization. I dunno if it's for Young jump or anything like that, but since it's advertised on their site, I think it's safe to assume he's going to be headed here. Perhaps he plans to serialize that one shot from a while back?

Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

It's not really a news... But Young Jump had a spin-off magazine called "Miracle Jump" that's been going on for two volumes now. It's a bit over-priced (450 yen for something that's maybe 1/3 size of SQ = ="), but some of the 1-shot's are pretty decent.
Though, like typical seinen stuff, too many characters gets killed in the first 2 chapters (for at least 3 of the running "series") :P

Same here except it's still too early for me to decide if it'll be my favourite sport manga based on the colour page alone. Ice hockey is virtually non-existent in Japan so hopefully this manga will help bring awareness to the sport. I'll definitely be on the look out for this one!

Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

I am really excited for the return of Liar Game as said here. Oh and I have a question since I read it last year and I have never been following it with it's releases when they were going on regularly before the hiatus. The series is bi-weekly right?

Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

Great to see Kingdom FINALLY getting an anime. It's sold pretty well for a long time and already has 23 volumes.
By the way Kokou no Hito ended about 2 weeks ago. The last volume comes out... I think next month, December.

Re: Weekly Young Jump (Seinen Mag by Shueisha)

Ok, it was this month then.
I've been reading it in the magazine issues, the ending was awesome. It probably won't get an anime or anything, but it's definitely been my favorite seinen manga. I've got to get around to translating the rest soon.
